Rocky Mount DUI Defense Lawyers

North Carolina Drunk Driving Defense Lawyers

A conviction for driving while impaired carries potentially heavy penalties in North Carolina. You face a large fine and increased insurance premiums, the loss of your driver's license for a year and possible jail time. You will also have a criminal record that will follow you for life.

Despite what you may have heard though, in many cases it is possible to obtain a dismissal of the charge or reduction of the offense to a non-alcohol related driving charge. Even if a conviction cannot be avoided, it can be possible to mitigate the effects of the conviction.

At Lassiter & Sperati, PLLC, we are experienced criminal defense attorneys. We aggressively defend people accused of DWI and traffic offenses — and will fight for your rights under the law.

Aggressive Rocky Mount DUI Defense Attorneys

Our attorneys believe that everyone accused of a crime deserves a strong defense. We aggressively defend people accused of DWI and other crimes.

In your case, we will review every aspect of the stop, testing procedures and other legal issues looking for a way to obtain a positive outcome. Potentially successful strategies include defenses based on:

Lack of probable cause for the police to stop you

Improperly conducted field sobriety tests

Inadmissible breath test results

Mistakes in paperwork and documentation

And others

These or other police errors may enable us to obtain a dismissal of the charge or reduction to a lesser charge.

Mitigating the Outcome

In some cases, the state's evidence can be strong. When we cannot obtain a dismissal, reduced charge or not guilty verdict, we will work to mitigate your penalties. A priority will be to obtain limited driving privileges. We will also seek to minimize fines and other penalties.
